– MAKE YOUR VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS VANISH –
Do you have varicose veins or spider veins that make you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable? Do you want to get rid of them without surgery or downtime? If so, sclerotherapy might be the right option for you.
At Get Up and Glo Medspa, we are proud to offer sclerotherapy, a cutting-edge treatment that can reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Our certified provider, Athena, is an expert in sclerotherapy and she will ensure that you achieve smooth and beautiful legs.
What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a solution into the affected veins. The solution irritates the lining of the veins, causing them to collapse and stick together. The blood then reroutes to healthier veins, and the treated veins gradually fade away.
It can treat veins that are twisted, enlarged, or discolored, such as varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins are usually in the legs and can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, itching, and cramping. Spider veins are smaller and closer to the skin surface, and they often appear as red, blue, or purple clusters on the legs or face.
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment that can improve the appearance and function of your veins. It can also reduce the risk of complications from untreated varicose veins, such as skin ulcers, bleeding, and blood clots.
What are the benefits of sclerotherapy?
- It is an outpatient procedure that takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete
- It does not require general anesthesia, incisions, or stitches
- It has a high success rate of up to 80% for eliminating treated veins
- It has few and mild side effects, such as bruising, swelling, or itching, that usually go away within a few days or weeks.
- It has a low risk of serious complications, such as infection, inflammation, or allergic reaction.
- It has a short recovery time, and you can resume your normal activities within a day or two.
- It is more affordable than surgery, and it may be covered by your insurance if you have medical symptoms from your veins.
What can I expect during and after the procedure?
During your initial consultation, our experienced medical professionals will assess your unique needs and discuss your goals. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your desired outcome.
During your consultation, we will:
- Discuss your cosmetic goals
- Review your medical history
- Perform any needed tests or screenings
- Examine areas of concern
During sclerotherapy, your doctor will use a fine needle to inject the solution into your veins. You may feel some mild discomfort, burning, or cramping as the solution enters the veins. The number of injections and the amount of solution will depend on the size and location of your veins. The procedure will be done in a comfortable and sterile setting, and you will be monitored throughout.
After sclerotherapy, your doctor will apply compression bandages or stockings to your legs to help the veins close and heal. You will be able to walk around and go home shortly after the procedure.
After the procedure:
- Avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths or sun exposure for a few days to weeks
- Follow post-procedure skincare directions
- Schedule a follow-up appointment to track your progress
